Following second-choice Werder Bremen goalkeeper Stefanos Kapino's return to action after a lengthy injury, first-choice Jiri Pavlenka has healthy competition for the number one jersey once again. Kapino has ambitions to earn a place in Florian Kohfeldt’s side. For Pavleka however, Kapino is not a rival, but a friend and good team-mate, who he has “already had a lot of fun with”. He is very happy that the Greek “is training with the team again and back in contention for a place in the starting XI after a long spell on the sidelines”
